Parotid tumor is a relatively rare tumor. Furthermore malignant tumor originated from the
parotid gland is scarecel^.
As the authors have recently experienced a very specific and rare case in which a malignant mixed
tumor pf the right parotid gland was ipsilaterally complicated with a tumor of the intracranial
mesocranic fossa, an observation on this case is to be reported here.
CASE二41 year-old, male
Chief complaints : Painful swelling at the part of the right ear and the right facial paralysis.
Past history : Not remarkable.
History of present illness: Though the patient has noted a swelling at the part of the right ear for last
2 years, but has let it alone until the speed of swelling became abrupt, and pain, dysacusis, buzzing in
the ear and feeling of ear-obstruction began to occur. Further ipsilateral facial paralysis has appeared
5daysago.
Clinical findings: The right external auditory meatus was filled with tumor, there existed a hard
tumor 4 x 3 cm in size all around the ear attached part, but it had no mobility. Alowering of
susceptibility of the sense of taste at the right part of tongue, inability of wrinkling the forehead, and
right peripheric facial paralysis were observed. There existed no swelling of the cervical lymphnodes.
The results of laboratory examination were not abnormal.
Audiometry revealed a horizontal conductive hearing loss of the right ear by about 50 dB.
Ear X-ray film indicated coinciding defects of the honey comb and septum at the site of the
tumor, and palely brightened shadow of the temporal bone were observed(Fig. 1 ).
At the first consultation, an exploratory excision was planned, but the patient did not appear for
6 months, and finally came to the hospital with such aggravated general conditions as inability of oral
ingestion, strong feeling of general fatigue, severe headaches and occasional vomiting.
Judging from the fact that the tumor of the ear was accompanied with facial paralysis in addition
to violent local pain, and also accompanied with headache, nausea, vomiting and gait disorder, and
moreover X-ray film showed the temporal bone became thin, malignant mixed tumor was suspected,
but on the other hand, as a possibility of infiltration of tumor from the intracranium was suspected,
an operation including exploratory excision was performed to confirm the nature of the tumor, with
a thought on a drainage to the cisterna pontis to lower intracranial pressure in case that the tumor
came from the intracranium.
Surgical findings: The tumor was hard, and adhesion with the peripheral tissue was strong, but
ablation was possible, and though the temporal bone became thin, no defect was observed, and no

communication of the tumor with the intracranium was observed. A complete extirpation of the
tumor was performed.
In spite of the complete extirpation of the tumor, enuresis and dazed condition appeared from the
first day after the operation, then sinking of the tongue-root and disappearance of light reflex were
observed, and moreover the eyeground showed such brain-pressure-exacerbation findings as papilla-
edema and bleeding at th色yellow spot part, and further an intracranial tumor doubted. In CT
scanning, a clearly bordered tumor was observed at the right mesocranic fossa. The right cerebral
ventricular cornu anterius was pressed and edematous (Fig. 2). A diagnosis of tentrial herniation was
made, and in spite of the administration of mannitol and steroid preparation to lower brain pressure,
the patient died at the 4血day after the operation.
The pathohistological findings of the tumor of the ear showed either adenoid-cystic or myxo-
matous appearance, with cellular atypia and infiltrating proliferation. A diagnosis of malignant
mixed tumor was made (Fig. 3).

On autopsy findings of the intracranium, a relatively soft tumor of 3 x 5 x 7 cm in size with
covering and adhering to the meninx of the right mesocranic fossa was found, thus a pathohistologieal
diagnosis of medullo-blastoma was made (Fing. 4 and 5).

DISCUSSION
It is said that the incidence of parotid tumor is 1.1 per 100,000 population. Among salivary gland
tumors, the rate of parotid tumor is high, and the appearance. of benign tumor is highly more
frequent than that of malignant one. Benign tumor tends to appear in female, and malignant one
does in male, but no difference between the right and left sides・is observed. The age o£distribution
・ of benign parotid tumor centers on 20 - 40 years of age, and that of malignant one does on over 40
years of agel).
As it is said that it takes 5 years until the size of a mixed tumor becomes two folds in size, it is
believed that any case of tumor growing rapidly should be thought to be malignant. As for the site
of malignant tumor, it is found in the superficial lobe by 62%, and in the deep lobe by 38%, while it
is said that the former appears more frequently at the posterior part of the ear二 In malignant tumor,
there exist cases in which facial paralysis becomes a chief complaint as the tumor rapidly grows,
thus it is known that facial ・paralysis in addition to pain is a sign to suspect malignant tumor. As for
metastasis, cervical lymphnode metastasis is most frequent, and sometimes to the lung, bone, liver,
brain, spine vertebral column and subcutaneous tissues. As differentiating points of malignant tumor
from benign one, they can be summarized as follows2^:
1) Rapid growth
2) Solid and vague border
3) Early appearance of pain
4) Facial paralysis
5) Infiltration to the surrounding tissue
6) Lymphogenous or hematogenous metastasis
7) Ulceration or necrosis

As a supplementally diagnostic method of parotid tumor, sialography can be mentioned. In
malignant tumor, it appears as an irregularly bordered and vague feature4*. The site of the tumor can
be more clearly established by laminated sialographys). Scintiscanning by RI is also helpful, and for
example, when using 99m Tc, the tumor is seized as a shadow defectl)4)
In any case, though the final diagnosis should be based on patho-histological diagnosis, but in the
case of parotid tumor, it is said from the prognostic viewpoint that it had better not to perform
biopsy3^4)
As regards its therapy, it is recently recommended to perform conservative parotidectomy with the
preservation of facial nerve and neck dissection. In general, as radiosensitivity for salivary gland
tumor is low, thus taking this fact in mind, for th占time being, it can be thought appropriate first
to perform an operative treatment, then coincidingly follo.wed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy2'.
There exist some cases provoking facial paralysis after the operation, but it is said that almost all
of them are restored. Further, Frey's syndrome appears with an incidence of 5 - 10% starting from a
few months after the operation, and continues for several yearsl'.
As for 5-year-survival rate, it is 55% for those patients who had no facial paralysis before the
operation, but is 9% for those patients who had facial paralysis, thus there existes a very large dif-
ference. The average survival period is 4.1 years for the patients without facial paralysis, while it is
so short as 1.6 years for those with facial paralysis6¥
Though it is said that it takes from several years to over 10 years until mixed tumor becomes
malignant, but when thinking on the fact, once becoming malignant, the prognosis is surely ag-
gravated, it can be thought that it needs an early operative treatment.
SUMMARY
A malignant mixed tumor of the parotid gland was. complicated with a medullo-blastoma occurred
at the ipsilateral mesocranial fossa. As this case is a very rare and specific experience, the results of
its observation were reported and a bibliographical discussion on parotid tumor was made.
The summary of this paper was reported at the 8th Regular Meeting of Okinawa Branch, the Oto一
別Iino-Laryngological Society of Japan.
